MANITOULIN—Employers will be able to get together with those looking for a career to discuss potential employment opportunities at the Manitoulin Island Job Fair taking place this Thursday, November 2 at the Mindemoya Community Centre.
“This will be the first Manitoulin Island job fair, an initiative that we partnered with the municipality of Central Manitoulin to host,” stated Stephanie Pepin, customer services officer with Lacloche-Manitoulin Business Assistance Corporation (LAMBAC).
The job fair, “Is basically being held to help local businesses talk to potential employees and those who are looking for work to be able to talk to local employers,” said Ms. Pepin. “There isn’t a shortage of work available on the Island. The problem is, if potential employees don’t come forward and apply for jobs, what can potentially happen is that businesses end up having to close. It is sad to see when this takes place.”
“We have 25 businesses registered to take part,” said Ms. Pepin.
Job seekers will have the opportunity to win a door prize of a new laptop, said Ms. Pepin, who noted that there is no cost for employers to attend.
The job fair will be held from 10 am to 4 pm at the Mindemoya community centre.
